Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 70 70 The upstart Wang family
Wang Gen was very disdainful of this. If he really had the means, how could his family be so restless and put the entire Jia clan, Ning and Rong, in the current situation?
It can be seen that the so-called means are just some cleverness.

If someone else wanted to use the Jia family's history to teach Wang Gen, Wang Gen would definitely be dismissive, but it didn't hurt to listen to his eldest father's bragging. Wang Gen also wanted to see what his eldest father's so-called "means" were, and then He put on a face that was open to asking for advice.

"Father, you can't hide your secrets. You must teach your son well! I also want to see the style of the people who opened the dynasty!"

Although Wang Gen is called Wang Yun's father, he still claims to be his son.It is not an exaggeration to call cousins ​​such a name. It not only shows the closeness, but also illustrates the harmony of the family.

Wang Yun was also very satisfied with this title. He did not treat his nephew as a fool, and his closeness also showed his sincerity; father and son should do whatever they want, everything is for the Wang family.

The petty thoughts between the two uncles are nothing to worry about.

In this way, Wang Yun put away the tip of his pen, looked at the word "virtue" under his pen, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh my god! Don't underestimate the heroes of the world; if the Jia family is really not good, how could they have grown from a country squire to a family of two peoples today!"

Wang Yun knew what his nephew was thinking. Heroes are judged by success or failure in this world, especially the sons of rich and powerful, who are born with arrogance; so, Wang Gen is no exception, this is unavoidable for the children of aristocratic families, and Wang Yun did not blame it. He also came from this age, so he naturally understands this mentality.

The so-called being a family member is to teach children all kinds of failure experiences so that they can avoid taking a big detour; as for the success experience, there is no need to teach them. For people like them, success is a matter of time, not the problem itself.

It’s not a problem if the children want to listen to the Jia family’s jokes, but ups and downs are what make things interesting. I don’t know how the Jia family got up, and how do they understand how miserable the Jia family is today.

Immediately, Wang Yundao said.

"My child, you don't know that the two Jia Yan brothers started a rebellion with Emperor Gao, and then climbed all the way to become the Governor of South Zhili, and the Chief Secretary of the five provinces in Jiangnan Province! At that time, the combined power of the two brothers, in name, It’s a rich place like Jiangnan that you can see!”

When Wang Yun said this, he sighed very much; he lamented the opportunity of the two brothers.But Wang Gen was really puzzled and asked hurriedly.

"Governor of Jiangnan Province, this power is a bit too much. Of the five Jiangnan provinces, just one of them is a coveted job. How can there be such a thing as the Governor of Jiangnan Province?"

Now that this dynasty has been transformed into two capitals and thirteen provinces, there is no longer a "Dao", only Lingnan, and the unit of "Dao" is still retained outside the territory. Although that place belongs to this dynasty, it has a strong autonomy and can be said to be uncrowned. The vassal king.

Because when Wang Yun said that the Jia family had served as governor of Southern Zhili and governor of Jiangnan, Wang Gen was very surprised.

"This is a great favor! No wonder the Jia family lives so extravagantly."

It's no wonder Wang Gen thinks so, he really has a lot of power, most of the taxes in this dynasty come from the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, if this is in the hands of the Jia family, there will be no surname Jia in the world!Adding in the Southern Zhili, does Gaozu want to share the world with the Jia family?

Seeing his nephew's surprise, Wang Yun understood that a person who had never experienced that era would naturally not understand the background of that era; what was in name was in name, and there was too much in it, so he said with a smile.

"That's why it's in name only!"

There is a saying. Seeing that Mr. Wang failed, Mr. Xiao Wang was naturally happy to support him and asked further.

"Father, how do you say this?"

The nephew was willing to support him, so Wang Yuncai continued.

"Son, you don't know that although the world was at peace at that time and the situation of changing dynasties was established, Jiangnan and other places were still in the hands of the remnants of the previous dynasty. At that time, I wanted to be the governor of Southern Zhili and the chief minister of Jiangnan Province. Yes, you have to fight for it yourself!"

This somewhat made Wang Gen understand, that is to say, this position is given to him, but he still has to fight for it himself.

But I still don't understand. With such a good position and under such circumstances, even if I have to fight for it myself, I won't let the Jia family win it so easily.Accompanied by peace.

"Since my eldest father said that the situation for changing the dynasty has been established, it is not difficult to capture Jiangnan Road! The Jia family can get this advantage, which can be regarded as a favor from the great ancestor!"

What Wang Gen means is that even the Jia family can gain the attention of Emperor Gaozu?This is a huge advantage.

Wang Yun naturally understood what his nephew meant. In his eyes, the Jia family was not worthy of even this empty official position.The nephew still looks down on the Jia family from the bottom of his heart.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The Jia family is in such a state that it's hard for people to look down upon it.

Today's Jia family, with their honorable reputation as the founding of the country, even asks for litigation. This shows that the inheritance of the ancestors has been completely ruined by Jia Daishan and Jia She.

But this is exactly what Wang Yun wants to teach Wang Gen. The efforts of one generation cannot withstand the waste of two generations.

At the same time, Wang Gen must understand what it means to seek wealth while taking risks.

"So, this is called an opportunity. It was no longer a problem to pacify Jiangnan at that time, but it was really a problem in whose hands Jiangnan Road would be handed over."

Wang Gen didn't understand and asked.

"what is the problem!"

Wang Yun put away the word "virtue" and smiled.

"The problem is that Gaozu was very sure at that time. He was worried about the capable people at that time, fearing that the guy who would crack the earth and seal the king would appear, but the trustworthy person did not have the ability, and was afraid of messing up the good situation again!"

When everyone hoped that the current dynasty and the previous dynasty would rule across the river, clowns and careerists appeared together. That was the situation at that time.It was not easy to talk to Wang Gen about this, so Wang Yun changed his words.

Wang Gen heard it, but what he heard was not the same meaning, so he asked in shock.

"How is this possible? I think the twelve princes, including the Wang family, the Zhou family, and so on, are loyal to each other. A good candidate will be an advantage to the Jia family!"

Wang Gen's words made Wang Yun very ugly!

Hey, the descendants are used to being rich, and have long forgotten the original suffering; they thought they were born rich, but they forgot that his Wang family was a pig butcher, and the Zhou family was just local hooligans in Taizu's hometown.

Nowadays, these families who follow Taizu's rebellion are all compared to those nobles who have lived for generations, but they are the people Wang Yun said that Taizu said have no ability, only loyalty.

No way, how capable can a pig butcher be?The biggest skill is to go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife!

But it’s useless no matter how many times we teach our children about this!

People who have never seen or experienced it all sound like stories; in their ears, even if their great-grandfather came from a humble background, he must have been of great wisdom, maybe he was the descendant of the Tang and Song Dynasty. The kind passed down by experts is similar to Zhang Liang picking up shoes.

And often people with grassroots backgrounds like them, when they become rich, are willing to recognize a famous ancestor in history to support them, so as not to lose face in front of the dignitaries who have previously been in the capital.

But this thing is meant to deceive outsiders, not your own children.
